Star India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal shares his views on the importance of domestic tournaments like the Duleep Trophy and his aspirations for India's red-ball cricket season. As India gears up for upcoming series against Bangladesh, Jaiswal emphasizes the significance of every match for the World Test Championship.

Star India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal has highlighted the significance of domestic tournaments, such as the Duleep Trophy, ahead of the Test and ODI series against Bangladesh. The 22-year-old, who has made a mark both domestically and internationally, views these tournaments as crucial to his development.

Jaiswal expressed his enthusiasm for such opportunities, stating, "It's a great opportunity whenever we have the chance to play the Duleep or Ranji Trophy. I'm really looking forward to that, and I hope I'll enjoy my game. I'll try my best." His dedication underscores the critical role these matches play in honing his skills and preparing for higher challenges.

As India prepares for the upcoming red-ball season and the World Test Championship, Jaiswal emphasized the importance of each match. "Every match is important because of the World Test Championship. You have to make sure you give your best as every win counts. Any opportunity to play for India is incredible, and representing the country is the biggest motivation that I have," he remarked.

India is set to face Bangladesh in a two-match Test and three-game T20I series at home from September 19 to October 12, followed by a three-match Test series against New Zealand from October 16 to November 5. These series will pave India's preparation for the Border Gavaskar Trophy later this year.
